About this course

Gifu Country Club sits in Kakamigahara, a city in Gifu Prefecture in central Japan, positioned between Nagoya and the Japanese Alps. The course was designed by Osamu Ueda and Sato Ktadashi, contributing to the development of golf in this region during Japan's postwar expansion of the game. The layout reflects the design sensibilities of mid-to-late twentieth-century Japanese golf architecture, where designers worked within the country's varied topography to create courses that balance playability with strategic interest. The property in Kakamigahara occupies terrain typical of the region, where rolling land transitions between the Nobi Plain and the foothills to the north. Japanese courses from this era often feature elevation changes, strategic bunkering, and green complexes that reward precision, and Gifu Country Club follows these conventions. The routing takes advantage of natural contours while incorporating design elements common to domestic Japanese golf, where course conditioning and attention to detail are priorities. Gifu Country Club serves the golf community in this part of central Japan, offering members and guests access to a course that represents the regional style of the period. The club operates within the traditions of Japanese golf culture, where etiquette, pace of play, and course presentation are emphasized. While not a tournament venue of national prominence, the course provides a representative example of golf in Gifu Prefecture, an area with a modest but established golf presence amid its industrial and agricultural landscape.
